Dear Maintainer,
I want to create a simple Debian package using "cp" command. The procedure works fine on Debian 11 Bullseye, but fails on Debian 12 Bookworm.
How to reproduce:
First create a simple example directory structure for the package:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/fs/usr/ ; touch /tmp/fs/usr/testfile
Now attempt to build deb package:
$ checkinstall --fstrans=yes --install=no --nodoc --pkgversion=1 --pkgname=test cp -r /tmp/fs/* /
Build process fails on Debian 12, while works fine on Debian 11.
